Happily shilling for China!

Strategic Tea posted:

Cyprus is a major holiday destination regardless of the border dispute.

As for illegal occupation - welcome to history, it is illegal occupation all the way down

North Cyprus (and to an extent the south as well) experienced extensive ethnic cleansing. Meaning it isn't just "bad army sitting around in place it doesn't belong" it means "many of the places you might stay or inhabit belonged to very possibly still living refugees who can't really return".

I don't really think visiting North Cyprus is a bad thing in general, even (before Covid) Greek-Cypriots did cross the border for various reasons.
I don't even blame Turkish-Cypriots for wanting to use buildings on their side of the border.

But I do really really think there's something kind of very hosed with wealthy enough foreigners actually moving in and deciding to live there on such contested grounds.
You have a choice, and you don't have to choose to maybe move into a house that could be the subject of a UN court case about "right of return".
